Dave has always wanted an attenuator for testing equipment. He got this particular attenuator off of Amazon, but it is really what he barganed for?

The Radioddity HF-009 whip antenna is already popular—but this clever little mount changes the game. In this video, I test out the quick-connect base that makes setup and teardown a breeze. Perfect for POTA, SOTA, or any portable ham radio operation.
🔧 Watch as I walk through the mount, install it on my truck, and show you why this might be the most convenient HF antenna setup yet.

@Kevlar232 is wondering how critical is the bond between the utility ground and the station ground. What do you do when the ground rods are on opposite sides of a building?
